Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and Work Control: Advanced

Course Introduction

Maintenance performance is often affected not by a lack of technical capability, but by how work is prepared and coordinated before technicians reach the equipment. Incomplete job scopes, unavailable materials, unclear priorities, unrealistic schedules, competing emergency work, and poorly controlled backlogs can leave teams busy without achieving consistent maintenance output. Effective work management therefore requires a disciplined process that turns maintenance demand into executable work.

Boost Consulting & Training offers this course to develop practical capability across the complete maintenance work cycle. The program covers work identification and screening, job planning, labor and material preparation, backlog management, priority setting, scheduling, coordination with operations, execution control, work completion, and feedback. Participants will learn how to create realistic schedules while protecting planned work from unnecessary disruption.

The main concept of this course is to convert maintenance demand into ready, prioritized, and executable work so that available resources produce more complete maintenance with fewer delays and interruptions.
